The consulting market is currently experiencing fierce competition. Why is this so? Demand far outstrips supply in terms of qualified consultants. This situation makes candidates more selective and demanding about the consulting assignments they accept, and makes it more difficult for companies and recruiters to find suitable profiles.
At Focustribes, we place the respect for our values, which is the strength of our quality label, at the heart of our priorities. We are ready to rise to the challenge of providing superior services to our independent consultants and our customers.
The purpose of this article is to introduce you to our approach by sharing our values and explaining why you should join our teams and/or benefit from our services.
There's no empty rhetoric here: we're looking for authenticity, and that's precisely what we want to share with you.
Faced with this talent shortage, companies find themselves having to rethink their approach to recruitment and team retention. But what factors have contributed to this shortage? While containment has played an important role, it's not the only reason.
The business world is constantly evolving, especially with the advent of new technologies, artificial intelligence and the challenges they bring. To meet these new challenges and stand out from the competition, companies need consultants with specific skills and expertise in precise fields.
Many companies, for example, are attaching great importance to the digital transition. They are looking for highly qualified consultants who are experts in this field. The ultimate goal is to find new levers for growth in a constantly evolving environment.
Finding competent consultants has become a real challenge, especially as it is difficult to find available consultants who are not already committed to an assignment. There are several reasons for this talent shortage, particularly in the fields of management consulting, change management and IT governance. Companies need to transform themselves to adapt to the market, reorganize or develop new strategies to remain successful and attractive. These transformations have to be carried out in parallel with day-to-day operations. Hence the growing demand for specialized profiles to support functional teams, as can be seen in projects involving information systems such as SAP S/4 Hana, or reorganization projects such as AMOA or Carve In / Carve Out.
Changing needs and skills, the flexibility offered by consultants, and the scarcity of talent are all factors influencing the balance between supply and demand for consultants.
Freelancers can be a sustainable solution to talent shortages. They bring expertise, adaptability and autonomy, but it's essential to find the right partner and make decisions quickly to optimize a freelancer's involvement in a project.
